First time I have been able to take some semi-okay pics at night. Took long enough. No tripod. No post editing via photoshop, etc. \*\*\* And yes, that is an F$\*)@( rust spot on my passenger side fender. It just came from NO WHERE. The other side of it isn’t rusted one bit…I was PISSED when I saw it at the carwash. That crap’s getting fixed as soon as the warm weather hits. \*\*\* ![http://www.ilyakol.com/Maxima/Random%20Pics/119.JPG](http://www.ilyakol.com/Maxima/Random%20Pics/119.JPG) ![http://www.ilyakol.com/Maxima/Random%20Pics/120.JPG](http://www.ilyakol.com/Maxima/Random%20Pics/120.JPG) ![http://www.ilyakol.com/Maxima/Random%20Pics/121.JPG](http://www.ilyakol.com/Maxima/Random%20Pics/121.JPG) ---

Those came out great. Esp considering that you had the ISO at 1600, the noise isn’t all that bad. ---

Haha. But seriously, images have what is called EXIF data where the camera stores all the information about the shot. Yours were still intact and I just viewed them. On a side note, there is a hack for your cameras firmware so that it would be extended to ISO 3200 and give you spot metering. Let me know if you’re interested in the details. ---

These are my winter wheels (stocks). My summer wheels are in my signature. My stocks only look good in some pictures, but not others.
